DMDN206 DESIGN AND THE INTERNET

I have chosen The Farnsworth House by Ludwig Mies Van de Rohe. The essential characteristics of the house are immediately apparent. The extensive use of clear floor-to-ceiling glass opens the interior to its natural surroundings to an unprecedented degree.

The interactive designer that I’ve chosen is Adam Brown from Oklahoma City. He is an Intermedia artist with a concentration in electronic media.

Brown’s most recent work in collaboration with scientist Dr. Andrew Fagg titled Bion, makes reference to an individual element of primordial biological energy identified as “orgone” by the scientist Wilhelm Reich. The interactive installation is a sensor network composed of more then one thousand, mass-produced, 3-dimensional glowing and chirping forms called bions. Each bion, a small synthetic “life-form,” fitted with custom electronics, low level A.I. and sensors, has the ability to communicate with other bions and with humans that enter the space.

Design intent: The more you interact with the architecture, the architecture itself will start to transform into different organic shapes. The transition between a static architecture and the abstract forms is what I would like to portray in my map. I would like to give the architecture life, by making the walls move as if it is breathing. The growing and building process is consider as a natural process.
